TV show meme!
I stole this meme from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
poisontea's journal like a thief in the night! And regret it not a whit; LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR REGRETS.Pick five of your favourite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them!
I went with all live-action shows this time around, just for a change of pace.
1. Firefly
2. LOST
3. House
4. The Office
5. Star Trek: Deep Space 9
01. Who's your favourite character in 2? (LOST)
Sawyer, that sexy man. I have often thought that he is a hell of a lot like what Gokudera might have turned out like if he hadn't ended up going to Japan and finding Tsuna. The angst, the tsundere, the rivalries with other characters, the gradual becoming-a-better-person-and-a-leader... hell, right down to the haircut and the reading glasses.
And oh snap, I managed to work KHR into the meme after all. (>'-')>
02. Who's your least favourite character in 1? (Firefly)
I HAVE NO LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN FIREFLY! Am I allowed to say, like, that jackass from "Heart of Gold"? Or does it have to be a regular cast member? Because I seriously can't pick. :( Well, I guess Book is technically my least favorite, but I love Book, you know? It's one of those shows. The cast is just that awesome.
03. What's your favourite episode of 4? (The Office)
I've only seen the first four seasons (watched them over the summer, and season 5 wasn't out on DVD yet), so from those, it would definitely have to be Ben Franklin. Because. Ben Franklin.
04. What's your favourite season of 5? (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
SOB SOB THIS IS HARD. ;_; ...I guess season 6, because it has Worf and Dax's wedding, the introduction of Section 31, and a bunch of episodes that are just plain good, like "Far Beyond the Stars" and "In the Pale Moonlight." AND IT'S THE LAST SEASON WITH JADZIA, ALAS.
05. Who is your favourite ship in 3? (House)
Man, I've learned not to ship anything in House, because I inevitably wind up disappointed. XD House/Wilson, I guess, since they are life partners and it can survive on subtext alone (thus never letting me down).
06. Who is your anti-ship in 2? (LOST)
Jack/Kate. Bearing in mind that I think this is the pairing the show is eventually going to settle on, it still bores the heck out of me most of the time. I just think both characters are usually way more interesting when they're interacting with people who are not each other. XD
07. How long have you watched 1? (Firefly)
I think I first saw it after I caught Serenity in theaters and was like, "My God, I've got to have more." So... four years now, I guess? And it's been my favorite series ever since.
08. How did you become interested in 3? (House)
I randomly caught a couple of episodes on Fox (this was during season 3, I think), thought it was kind of cool, and so started downloading and watching them in order from season 1 onward. AND GOT HOOKED. Though I actually wasn't completely hooked until I saw the episode Three Stories, which was completely fucking outstanding. Then there was no turning back.
09. Who's your favourite actor/actress in 4? (The Office)
Steve Carell is easily the best, but John Krasinski is my favorite. He has the best facial expressions ever.
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1, 2 or 5? (Firefly, LOST, or DS9)
FIREFLY WINS BY DEFAULT, but LOST gets an honorable mention because it's also amazing. It's just that Firefly is such unfair competition.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3? (Firefly or House)
House has five and a half seasons so far, whereas Firefly was TRAGICALLY CANCELED after fourteen episodes, so obviously the former.
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? (The Office)
Jim, because he's the character most similar to me, and one of the few who I would actually be able to stand switching lives with. XD
13. How would you kill off your favourite character in 1? (Firefly)
D:
Oh my God what is this question. UM. Well, my favorite character is River, so I will cheat and say "by suspending cerebral, cardiac, and pulmonary activity in order to induce a proto-comatose state." Because that already happened, so. :P
14. Give a random quote from 1? (Firefly)
"Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?"
15. Which character from 5 would be a good guest star on 2? (DS9 and LOST)
OOOOOHHH. I'm gonna go with Julian, because he's young and attractive (and would thus fit right in with the cast!) and a doctor (you can never have too many doctors on a show that maims characters as frequently as LOST), and he is from Star Trek so he's totally used to finding himself in completely whacked-out sci-fi settings where weird things are happening and absolutely no one knows why.
Man, now I wish this could actually happen.
(For the record, Worf is also an acceptable answer to this question, because I WOULD NEVER STOP LOLING. Seriously.)
16. Would a 3/4 crossover work? (House/The Office)
IT COULD. Just give someone from the Office cast a random disease with mysterious symptoms and you're good to go. Again, this is another crossover I would totally, totally support.
17. Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple. (Firefly)
This is actually really, really hard, because I just ship the canon ships in Firefly. And everyone who isn't part of a canon ship is underage, celibate, or Jayne. ...I have no answer for this, really. PASS.
18. Has 5 inspired you in any way? (DS9)
I guess it helped spark and nurture my fledgling nerdiness back when it originally aired. Oh, Star Trek. THE MEMORIES. <3
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4? (LOST or The Office)
NOT FAIR. Both LOST and The Office have outstanding casts, and they are two very different shows. Fuck, I have to go with LOST just because it's my favorite and because it has Michael Emerson. But this was a damn hard choice.
20. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5? (House or DS9)
Deep Space Nine. Sorry, House, I like Massive Attack and all, but Jerry Goldsmith, man. The guy is just amazing.
OH TELEVISION, I HAD FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU.

WATCH MOOOOOOOOARJim is my favorite for sure but the cast is just win anyways. XD And House/The Office would win so hard. I should take time to watch House but I'm not good with those kinds of shows ;A; But House's actor is so cool... (from his SNL host episode)LOL nowadays I think I watch more TV than anime/manga. OTL May or not steal the meme because I'm lazy! And gaming ._.
no subject
And House is awesome, really. I would totally recommend checking out the episode I mentioned above (Three Stories) to see if it's up your alley or not; it's a late first season episode, so it's got spoilers, but I think it's a good introductory episode to the show (I've used it to pimp House to people before, lol). I googled it quickly and this site seems to have a bunch of links; one of them ought to work. But it's totally up to you, of course.
I definitely watch more TV than anime myself, but that's just because I don't watch much of either. Though over the last few months I've started renting and watching shows on DVD (The Office, DS9, and now Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and I'm becoming addicted to that (INSTANT GRATIFICATION). XD
no subject
Thanks for the pimp then, will remember to look it up. I really think I'm close to starting House no matter how many episodes far behind (let along seasons). I already watch a handful of murder/mystery/crime shows and started some bizarre series of potential aliens using humans as tools and take over the world, what is the harm of a show on doctors? (>_<) Have heard such good things about the series, will make time... for.. it... count... on it...
My only reason for not watching anime as of late is because I'm just too lazy to read subtitles since I'm just doing so much work on my laptop. If I let the TV show run, I just listen to it and occasionally look up and I'll still get it. With anime, I'll miss five minutes of character development if I look at my work. XD I like getting shows on DVD though, no commercials lol. Gosh I am lazy ;-;
no subject
Honestly, House is almost more of a mystery/crime-type show than a medical drama, really. If only because the way he and his team typically go about trying to diagnose their patients. Interrogating their friends and family, breaking into their homes to find evidence, and so forth. XD So it might be right up your alley.
Heh, I sort of do the same thing, come to think. It's easier to watch something on TV than on my computer, because then I can use my computer for other things at the same time. Unless I'm really absorbed in a show, I get kind of fidgety these days if I don't have something else to do while watching. Lol my attention span. XD

And of course, the inevitable scene where House sends the team to check the workplace for possible sources of infection would also be a highlight.

Oh, you XD
Man, I always see commercials about The Office. That show looks so epic lmao. I need to watch iiiiiit.
TELEVISION HAS ITS MOMENTS SOMETIMES.

It's one of the most hilarious shows I've ever seen; I definitely recommend it.
INDEED, SOMETIMES IT CAN BE PRETTY COOL.
